Re: Kelly Communications

Hi everyone,
Im new to this so please be gentle!

Ive also been offered a position at kellys as a telecoms installer putting in the overhead lines for openreach,
everything at the interview seemed a bit sketchy to be fair, i was told i will be getting paid a flat rate £25 per job with van, tools and fuel card provided.
No real idea of how many jobs a day you get given and how it actually works regarding recieving jobs etc,
Looking through most of the posts it doesnt look too good to be honest.
Im an ex sky installer but have been self employed for past few years,
it all seems very familiar, iv subbied for firms doing sky and we used to get paid per job, however it was sometimes 12+ hours worth of work a day with jobs upto 70 miles away!
It was a case of get your head down and get on with it.
I was looking forward to starting the training course and learning something new but im not so sure now.
I understand that you only ever hear the sh*t stuff about firms but is there anyone out there who can give an honest and varied opinion?
I fully expect it to be out in all weathers and rough with the smooth in terms of jobs, i dont mind this im used to it,
my main concerns are what radius do engineers cover, is it hours of driving?
How many jobs realisticley can a decent installer get through?
Is the training course (2 weeks) enough to get an idea of the job?
Any replies with a varied opinion of good and bad would be much appreciated,
Cheers guys
